The LG ESS The Evolution of Home Energy StorageThe LG Electronics ESS is a state-of-the-art home energy management system designed for homeowners ready to take control of their home energy usage. The LG ESS is offered in both an AC-coupled and DC-coupled configuration. The 7.6kW DC-coupled solution with an integrated high efficiency PV inverter is well suited for new solar PV + storage installations. The 5kW AC-coupled solution is ideal for customers looking to install an ESS in a home with an existing solar system. The 7.6kW DC-coupled product offers unparalleled solar + storage performance, allowing homeowners to seamlessly store excess solar energy to power their home both day and night. The 5kW AC-coupled product can be easily added to an existing solar system, offering a reliable and cost-effective way to manage Time of Use (TOU) rates and provide backup power. Product features include quick and easy installation, a compact and elegant design, and an integrated smart energy management system (EMS). The EMS enables customers to control their electric bill through self-consumption of solar and TOU rate smart scheduling, and includes an off-grid mode to protect the customer’s home in the event of a power outage.
The LG ESS is provided as an integrated energy storage system, complete with PCS, ATS and Energy Meter. In the case of a DC-coupled system, RSD will also be included. For either the AC or DC-coupled system, a second battery pack is optional.
